Fuerteventura - July 2006

Michael and I vacationed in Fuerteventura (yes, very sunny) in the Canary Islands for 10 days in July 2006. Fuerteventura, part of Spain, is about 60 miles off the West coast of Morocco in northwest Africa. This island is known for its miles of secluded beaches and world-championship windsurfing. We stayed at the newly built Cala del Sol hotel in the Las Playitas Grand Resort. Our room overlooked a beautiful bay on the East coast of the island. The beaches are indeed absolutely beautiful!
